Monster Patch Tutorial

Tucker is one crazy little man. Already at the ripe old age of four he started ripping holes into his jeans. I hear Sears will replace jeans if they wear out before they grow out of them and that is something I want to look more into. For now he already has a hole that needed patched.

This monster patch is perfect for him. He loves it! It was quick for me to fix (about 30 min) and I already had everything needed.

Materials Needed:

Red Fabric

Interfacing

White felt or Fleece Interfacing

Black Yarn

Pants with a hole

1 Cut out the red material into an oval about 3/4" larger than the hole on all sides.

2 Iron on the interfacing.

3 Cut teeth out of felt or fleece interfacing. If using felt sew along the top of the teeth. I used the interfacing and ironed it on.

4 Pin mouth to the inside of the whole and sew it. I used the machine and just went back and forth several times on the top and bottom to get a messy monster look. It was actually kinda hard because the pant lets were pretty small. Next time I might just hand sew it.

5 Cut out eyes and put them in place. I ironed on the interfacing but felt would be fine her too.

6 Either hand sew or use a machine to put a big messy X over the eyes.
